My apologies to you for missing last week. You'll hear my explanation of what happened that caused that on this episode, but the short version of it is I was out of town at my final AD meeting at the beginning of the week, and then I had ankle replacement surgery at the end of the week. 

But now, I'm back and coming to you with the start of a new series on quotes that coaches and leaders should NOT use. I'm not sure i...

Today's episode comes to you on Memorial Day, so I thought I would do some quotes on "Sacrifice" as a way to honor and recognize those people who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free and to help others in the world live freely, too. However, only one of the quotes is about that kind of sacrifice. The rest of them are great quotes for you, as leaders, to use with your teams to help them understand the impo...

Today I get personal. Today's quote deals with my own life right now. I make a major announcement a little ways into the episode. It's an announcement that will have a fairly substantial impact on the podcast moving forward, as well as some other ways that I have come to you before. The quote that I discuss is perfect for the situation. 

Let me know your thoughts on it and the major announcement that I make by reaching out...

I went in a different direction today than I thought I was going to go, but I think you're going to love it! Some quotes from the "Introduction" to a book I was listening to over spring break in Mexico last week. Really good insights for us on the language that we use to lead and to transform culture. Enjoy!

Today's quote comes from an unlikely source - ME! 

I was doing a basketball skills workout yesterday with some kids here in my town, and while in the middle of the workout, all of a sudden, this quote came out of my mouth. I said to the two parents (who are also coaches and also frequent listeners of this podcast!), "Hey, I think that's a quote I can use on my podcast!"

Now, a day later, here it is. And if I am al...

The Super Bowl was yesterday. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles! It was quite a performance by them. To you Kansas City Chiefs fans, I say "Sorry for your loss." You have been the pinnacle of greatness in the NFL for the last 6 or 7 years, and I see no reason why that won't continue. You have the best coach and quarterback in the game today, and you are a team of excellence.

Did that title get your attention?! Good! The quote in this episode will, too. I had never heard this quote until Saturday night. (Yes, this past Saturday night - January 25th, 2025) And I saw it in a fairly obscure place - on the refrigerator in the teachers' lounge in the school where I am the activities director.

I was so blown away by this quote that I thought, "I have to do this on an episode of the podcast....

My apologies to you all for not getting an episode out to you. I recorded it last Sunday morning, and it was ready to go. However, I wasn't able to upload it to my podcast host's site that morning, and I planned to do it later in the day. Well, as my days are always busy now (even Saturdays and Sundays!), I didn't get to it. Then on Monday morning, I left the house at 5:30 for a meeting in Helena. From then on until ...

I guarantee you that you're going to love the message in this one, especially if you are a coach, teacher, parent, or leader of young people (or anyone, for that matter).
